This product is great. It smells really good and makes your feet feel soft. Only problem is that it tends to feel a little greasy, so I would apply at night. Sometimes I get dry skin around my toenails, with this I apply it and you can't even tell. The formula deteriorates the dead skin. My husband even uses it for his cracked heels! Will be buying again... when it eventually runs out.

This is the most fabulous foot cream I've found. I'm going to the beach this weekend, so I wanted something that would make my feet look great. Before using this, I had the most uncomfortable, ugly cracked heels I've had in my life. It has glycolic acid in it, so it gets rid of any dead, dry, cracked skin. I bought it yesterday, used it last night, and literally all the tough, cracked skin on my heels is gone. My feet feel super soft and look great. I got this as part of a buy 2 get 2 free sale yesterday, so it was a good deal. Even if it's not on sale, I'll definitely repurchase. Would recommend this for anyone who has problems with cracked skin on their feet. It's also great for knees and elbows or any other cracked skin.

This is my HG footcare product! I love the combination of shea butter to moisturize and glycolic acid to exfoliate...it's like a one-two punch! The key to this product is to apply it every night until feet are as soft as you would like them and then every couple days for maintenance. I apply a small amount at night and throw on some socks for an hour or so. In the morning I use a pumice stone in circular motions on my heels to whisk away the skin cells that the glycolic acid loosened the night before. If you ask a sales associate at BBW they will be happy to give you a spatula so you don't have to get product under your nails (it comes in a tub). The scent is not overwhelming, though it is different than anything I've smelled before. The price is $15 dollars, but as mentioned below you can usually find it on sale. It is well worth the price!

This is the only foot cream I tried that actually makes my feet less rough. In less than a month my skin stopped looking all flaky and gross. I still need to exfoliate, but this cream actually does something other than make my feet feel greasy. It took me about 6 months to use up a jar after using it every day and night.

I don't have super dry feet, but I like to use lotion on my feet a few times a week to maintain a soft feet. My sister bought this and never used it, so I started using it. It's thick and very moisturizing. It does what it's suppose to.

This stuff works really well at softening my skin. I have been looking for a lotion that has AHA for a while. I got this on sale (2 for 20) and found it worth the price. You have to put your hand in the tub to scoop it out however it really is not so bad. I feel like I will be going through this really quickly since the jar is somewhat small. Definately a keeper.
edit: this stuff is amazing. it really eats away at the hard and dry skin on my feet.

As the other previous reviews have already said, it does exactly what it claims.
And like other people I am also not a fan of the tub packaging. Its biggest offense in the beginning was the stench, I hated the smell. That being said, I already bought two more tubs during a 2 for $20 sale. Until something better comes around, this will be it.

This is GOOD stuff! I have just horribly nasty feet and have tried every foot cream on the market. I've used Kerasal for years because it was the only thing that really worked for me. Well, I never thought I would find something I like better than Kerasal but I have. This cream is much nicer to use than Kerasal but works just as well on my horse hoof feet. It's a really nice cream that's not greasy and really sinks into the skin. It doesn't smell chemically at all either. Not much scent at all really. The bottom line is that it really works well on the dry, calloused skin. Used together with my Ped Egg makes my feet look great!

WOW! This product really impressed me! And my feet LUVED me for purchasing it! ;-) I've yet to find a product even remotely similar to this one. It absolutely gave my feet a velvet smooth feel & improved the overall texture and appearance of my skin/feet area. The con: it's price tag is pretty steep considering how little of product you get for your buck. I'm also not a fan of the jar that it comes in. BUT it's definitely worth trying! Your feet will LUV you for it! :-))

This stuff is the absolute best! I bought it last summer and I'm still using the same jar. It healed up my dry cracked heels in about a week and I use it now just whenever they start to feel dry again (maybe once or twice a week). I'm still on the same jar and it's just fantastic. I can't recommend this product highly enough.

This is a great product. I work at B&BW and all my co-workers have a jar of this at home. I love flip-flops so I wear them all year-round, which means my feet get pretty dry and rough. After a week of using this, my feet have been so much softer and smoother looking. With consistent use, you'll see your feet looker better and better. It is a tad greasy but I find that it absorbs faster than the Shea It Isn't So Foot Cream and works better. It is really pricey but if you catch it at one of the sales, you'll get a decent price on it.

I can't live without this product!
I have dry, dry feet and this is the only lotion that if used daily gives me soft, pretty feet. It's a bit greasy so I usually apply at night before bed and wear socks, but it works wonders. If I get lazy and don't apply every night my feet start to look dry and cracked again so consistency is the key.
I just wish they would change the packaging. I hate scooping creams out of a jar.

I love this -- put it on at night with socks and in the morning your feet will look soft and smooth. I get really bad callouses and dry skin on my feet, and this makes a big difference -- especially if I use it a few nights in a row. It works better for me than Soul Owner. I wish it wasn't in a jar -- not very sanitary.

i love this stuff. it works best when you apply it after using a pumice stone in the shower and applying this right when you come out. it's not super greasy and has a nice scent to it. the one bad thing is that it's in a tub and i have to dig it out with my finger and the product gets stuck in my nails. o yeah and its also expensive for this tub. but it works!

Ok, here's one of my deepest, darkest secrets: I have crusty, nasty heels, especially in the summer when I live in sandals. It makes me self-conscious at yoga. I've tried other foot lotions and found that Heel of Approval really works well at smoothing my heels.
I apply this at night before bed. The scent reminds me of sunblock for some reason--it's kind of a tropical smell, like banana and coconut. It's quite moisturizing and I do usually see a difference in the morning. After a few weeks of use, my heels are smoother and softer. It's slightly greasy, so I usually wash my hands immediately after applying to my feet. The consistency (aside from the greasiness) is creamy and easy to apply--kind of like Noxzema.
I'm not a big fan of the packaging. The tub does what it's supposed to do, and I could see how they'd almost HAVE to put it in a tub given its texture, but a tube would be so much better. I just hate having to scoop it out of the tub, but that could just be my personal preference.
I'll keep using this, though, and hopefully my heels won't be as torn up this coming summer. If/when BB&W has a True Blue Spa sale, this can usually be found for $10 or less, which is a good deal.

I don't use this faithfully but when I do it does seem to work pretty well. I also used this on a flaky patch on my leg that I could never seen to get rid of (I would exfoliate & apply tons of lotion & it wouldn't get any better) & now its gone!

this works really well as a balm for heels and elbows and it has a nice light smell. its really moisturizing but non-greasy. you will definitely notice an improvement. its a good idea to stock up on this during the semi annual sale

Definitely my HG foot cream--but only when it's on sale :-) $15 for a foot cream is a little ridiculous to me, but this stuff usually goes on sale at least once a year so all it good. The glycolic acid and shea butter combo works wonders for dry, cracked feet or as a way to keep feet from becoming dry and cracked. The price is definitely a turn off for most people, but again it usually goes on sale in the summer (try the BBW semi-annual in June)

Along with the rest of my really dry body, I get seriously dry & sandpapery heels if I don't cream them vigilantly. A friend recommended this product to me, I was really quite impressed with it. If I use it day & night, it softens my heels in a couple of days. I don't really love the smell (smells a bit like bananas to me) & it's a bit overpriced (although I just got some at the BIG SEMI-ANNUAL SALE 2 for 1), but I have & will buy it again. I'm a bit torn as I've also had really good results with Flexitol Heel Balm (which is about 1/2 the price), but the Heel of Approval just seems more fun somehow...

I have diabetic feet, which are rough and cracked most of the time. This stuff actually seems to last overnight without being greasy. I'd say this is probably my favorite foot cream. It does contain AHA, which might explain why it works so well for me.
